Spurs vs. Nets Preview: Benyama PK Thomas, Spurs want to win three consecutive victories in the new season
6686 Sports October 26th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow, and the Spurs will face the Nets at the home team court.
In the first two games of the new season, the Spurs defeated their opponents and won two consecutive games. In the first game, the Spurs did not encounter many difficulties, but in the second game against the Pelicans, the difficulties they encountered were much improved compared to the first game. The two teams eventually reached an overtime to determine the winner. In this game, although the Spurs star Bunyama still contributed 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 blocked shots, he left the game due to six fouls at the beginning of the overtime. At the same time, his plus-minus value in this game was -12, the second lowest in the team. Compared with his "alien" performance in the first game, it is really a bit ordinary.
Looking at the Nets, both games in the new season ended in defeat. In the first game, they met the Hornets, who could compete with them, and defeated their opponents by 29 points. The game lost suspense early in the fourth quarter and turned into garbage time. In the second game, when they met the Cavaliers, who were bound to continue to make breakthroughs in the Eastern Conference this season, the Nets fought back and forth. At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers led the Nets by 22 points, but who would have thought that the Nets would fight back in the fourth quarter. Although they eventually lost at the home court, fans could see the resilience of this team.
The two teams will meet tomorrow. The injury reports of the Spurs and Nets have not been announced yet. Four Spurs players including Fox and Sohan have missed two consecutive games due to injuries. There are currently no reports of their recovery from injuries. If there are no accidents, they may continue to miss this game. This will undoubtedly have a great impact on the strength of the team. There is no doubt that the Spurs need to continue to rely on the performance of Vunbanyama, and they also need players such as Castle and Vassell to provide firepower support for Vunbanyama in attack. The Nets need to continue to rely on Thomas and Porter. Both of them scored 30+ points in the last game. Whether they can continue to control the ball in this game will be the key to the team's competition with the Spurs. Let us wait and see whether the Spurs will win three consecutive victories in the new season at home, or the Nets will get rid of the shadow of two consecutive losses and win the first victory of the new season!
